How We Gather
-
Our size allows a flexibility we embrace to encounter one another and the Divine through various means on a Sunday. Depending on the day you may find us sharing a meal, telling stories, making art, or inviting you into some kind of embodied practice. We value good questions and short sermons. We always end in communion, offered to everyone, our most treasured embodied practice of our faith.
-
We see life together as one of social artistry, with our faith mediated through a collective imagination and connection to one another, creation, and the Spirit. Art is woven into gatherings as a way to engage, respond, or create together. Art invites us into wonder, beauty, tension, imagination, lament, and opens us to the Divine in more expansive ways.
Artists in Residence
We invite visiting artists throughout the year to join for a 5 or 6 week season and co-create our weekly gatherings. Each season has a theme that teachers and artists use to reflect and draw inspiration to curate gatherings.
Email Hayden if you are interested learning more about our Artist in Residence series.
Kids + Youth
-
Children are included in the beginning of our gathering time at Aurora Commons. Midway through the service they journey to the Corner Store for explorations in Godly Play, a guided time of imaginative interaction with the Jesus Story, rejoining us for communion at the end of the service.
Note: Any families who wish to keep their children with them during worship are welcome to do so.
-
Twice a month our youth join in an activity together after the service: movies, outings, games, and more! Contact youth director Ryan here for the upcoming schedule.
